Or for you transputer(28each)/i860(24each) and at least 192 Meg RAM

Me? I was just looking for info on EPROM programmers... Too rich for my
blood anyway - I'll stick with my CoCos & Model 200's...

Nice to spot roger. However if you read their crapola, they have
all the worst attributes of a "power ebay seller". No support,
therefore no answers about where it came from, condition questions
pre or post sale, etc.
No local pickup (have to steal as much for packaging it as they can)
no phone calls
I try my best to totally avoid these types, since that is all that I
can do.
I tried to offer some information to one who had some incorrect
information (some idiot in colorado) and he went totally postal
on me. I hope none of these idiots get hold of anything I ever
want.
My current favorite to deal with is the fellow in New Mexico
who posts as riatla. He has S100 stuff right now, and had the
CDC-160, and an 029 keypunch. he is the nicest reseller I have
ever dealt with, and will answer questions all day long. It is possible
to have an ebay business and be civil, as opposed to the lister
of these.
That said, hopefully someone can stomach the process to obtain
these, as they do appear to be rare. Not worth $8000 (canadian
or US) but interesting.

If you're in the market for an EPROM programmer, take a look at some of the
stuff Elnec (www.elnec.com) are offering. I picked up a Preprom-02ALV
EPROM/Flash programmer a few years back for ?160. IIRC the Preprom has been
discontinued, but there is a replacement for it at around the same price.
Just gives you another option to consider...

This is too expensive if you consider the willem eprom programmer
(www.willem.org) which has all the schematics on the net and programs almost
everything you can think of.

Wow, around 1.6 GFLOPS for $8000! For $1000 you can get a P4 that pushes 2
GFLOPS, with a nice big flatscreen monitor.
Oh, but it's rare, I see. My Banyan VNS100 server must be worth a fortune :)

Gee, I have a couple of Dell 386sx20 boxes over there on the shelf. No SCSI
nor are they MCA, but that should make things easier! I'll be happy if
somebody would offer me anything at all for those... :-)
